Ariel, I am a grandma aged mega fan! You inspire me! Your creative, free youth is wonderful! I had a bit of freestyle as a young woman, it takes courage! My dear love, I wish for you friendship, ever expanding knowledge and to maintain your joy and courage throughout your life. Thank you for sharing your home, ideas and spirit filled life with all of us! And yes, seeing your good environment is walking me through an entire home refresh and maintenance. Good luck, Ariel!

Me too. I’m 71, and I rehabbed houses for a living for a few years in my mid-50s. It was lots of fun but super exhausting and super stressful owning another house and pouring money into it with fingers crossed that it would sell for a profit. Fortunately, they all did and I got out of the last one before the huge market crash in 2006 in Florida. Ariel is super inspiring and I have been binge watching her videos this week, thoroughly enjoying her bright and enthusiastic personality and smart choices on her home.

I have been binge watching all of your videos on both channels this week and really enjoying them. I rehabbed homes as a realtor in my mid 50s and really enjoyed the process. I’m now 71 and retired from real estate, living in a newer home. No more rehabbing for this old gal. 😂 It was of course exhausting and I didn’t do all the work myself but I did a lot. I can totally relate to what you were doing on your home. I remember watching your kitchen remodel in Sim four and you saying how you would love to have wallpaper in there but that it is so expensive. Have you heard about Spoonflower? They are an American company that prints on demand both wallpaper and fabric. They use designs created by indie artists only and there are thousands of designs there that I think you would love. I retired from real estate last year and I’m a full-time artist and have over 1200 designs on Spoonflower myself. Im including a link to my farmers market wallpaper below, just so you can get a feel for what Spoonflower is all about. It is just a fabulous ethical company. Why not get in touch with them and see if you can do some marketing for them in your videos and get them to send you your wallpaper for free? They do that sort of thing all the time. I think you guys would make a great matchup for your videos. www.spoonflower.com/en/wallpaper/13547435-farmers-market-large-by-marcy_brennan_art?fabric=wallpaper_peel_and_stick

I don't know if people tell you this all the time, but I love your voice. I get overstimulated by voices easily so I don't often watch non-silent vlogs, but yours are always exceptional. The work you're doing is amazing and I am always in awe and feel happy and motivated after watching one. Thank you so much Ariel!

As a Librarian an Information Science student, i would love a video on your cataloguing process for your library!

Ariel…my entire 33 year career has been in education (reading specialization). Everything you’ve created seems to be inspired by reading. Your beautiful life is a perfect example of the richness and joy books can bring into our lives. If I ever go back to the classroom, believe me, I’ll be sharing your videos and the associated inspirational literature. First on my list will be your beautiful reading nook and then your Jane Austin inspired room(s). What a lovely life you’ve created for yourself and your family…and it all started with books and your imagination. Thanks so much for your ongoing peaceful, intelligent, and creative content.

Ariel, keep in mind too that you had Covid recently! Long Covid is very common and even if you were lucky enough not to get that your tiredness could partly be because of Covid. Rest up, take care of yourself as much as your schedule will allow ❤

Such a cosy video!! Are you using a spcial type of program/system to catalog all your books? I think it would be really interesting to see more of your catalog process 😊

You’re sporting a bit of an Anne of Green Gables look today, Ariel. 😊❤️🎶🇨🇦

So many ~Anne of Green Gables~ vibes.

Would you do a video talking about how you categorize your library? I've been doing some similar things in google sheets and enjoy seeing what other people do.

I need that crow mug. Makes me think of my grandfather who’s name was Crow. We bought his and my grandmother’s 100year old house and are slowly renovating it as well.

Ariel, can I just say how much I enjoyed the care and time you spent to take the artsy shots while you were moving the tree and enjoying the outdoors? It made me realize that your shots/angles/editing is one of the things I love about your videos!

This was so relaxing to watch. I subscribed years ago for your book content but your creativity, the hard work you're putting into your house, it's so fun and inspiring to see. Kind of makes me want to quit my job, leave the city and buy a little old house somewhere surrounded by trees and water too 😭

I get soooo happy when you upload a video!! 🥹❤️✨

such a sweet and comforting video to watch - thank you for making it and sharing it with us!

Love seeing this type of content from you! How magical!

Enjoy your you time. I always schedule my next time off just before i put on my out of office on. That way at the end of your time off you can look forward to the next time off. ☮️💜🌞

I love all the care and vibes baked into your videos! ❄️ Enjoy your time off!!

Thank you for the lovely video, Ariel! I had a really rough day but watching your video made me feel a lot calmer. Wishing you lots of energy to finish your projects and a very happy Christmas break!

I enjoyed watching this as much as I enjoy watching your big project videos. It was calming and lovely. Thanks for taking us along with you on your day.

Aww yay this video is so cozy! I know you talked on Patreon about the reasons for why you don't do this type of content regularly, but when I hope you get more chances to do them, even if they're just every once in a while! 💜 (And congrats on your win over the tree!)

What an awesome video!! I just love your channel, from projects you do, to day to day stuff is all wonderful ❤️

I loved this style of video from you. It was gentle and cozy, which was exactly what I needed today. I would love to see more of these videos as well as one of your cataloging process. I hope you enjoy your two weeks off!

This was so fun and relaxing to watch (excellent music!). Absolutely loved it. Good luck with your projects and I hope you have a wonderful holiday break!

Your videos are like a visual treat! I enjoy watching your content so much, and I always look forward to these home renovation / your house videos. Your joyful personality and love for life shines through in everything you do. Good luck for all your projects, hope you have a restful holiday too

Your videos are just so refreshing. Love every bit of your home. What a beautiful way to live.❤

This was such a thoughtful and soothing video. I would love to see more day in your life content. ❤ I would also love a video about how you’re cataloging your books!

Loved this format of video! Also, that music at the end of the video hit me in such a nostalgic way for some reason? Was wonderful to watch. 👏🏻

I just joined your Patreon and I’m so excited to catch up on content! Absolutely love your videos and the podcast ❤

Enjoy your break! I’m taking a week off for Christmas and I’m so beyond excited and grateful!

Your videos are always so calming and relaxing to watch. Your home is so inviting and lovely and cozy. As a fellow Canadian, I hear ya. It’s like hibernation mode kicks in and the urge to just curl up and sleep is hard to fight. It’s taken a lot of intentional decision making throughout the years to slow this season down. We’re very very choosy about what we commit to doing because that instinct to rest more conflicting with an amped up social calendar just creates so much stress and then we don’t actually enjoy the moments. I totally embraced hygge and I keep the house dimly lit, fire going, and candles burning and put on my coziest clothes as soon as I get home and embrace the cold and dark. I actually kinda look forward to winter now. Also, those ducks are heartwarming somehow 😊

that little river area seems a perfect spot for painting and sketching. so cozy!

I LOVE this video!! Thank you for sharing 😊

Ariel you bring joy to my life with your videos! Absolutely loved this vlog-style!!

I loooooved this. So calming and lovely and chill. Fab.

Happy holidays to you and yours. Have a lovely time off.

Love this. Such a nice calm video and still I couldn’t stop watching

I hope that your time off is very wonderful Ariel!

I always love watching your videos. I know it might sound weird, but I find them calming, and always uplifting.

Such a lovely video, enjoy your time off Ariel, much deserved. Happy holidays from NZ.

Loved this new video style! 🥰🥰 and I'm feeling the tiredness and struggle with obligations too - ready for the holiday relaxation!!

What a beautiful place you are creating for your parents and yourself. You are so lucky to live with them.

Ariel, I looove watching your renovation content (which is how I first found your channel) but spending a chilled out day with you in this video was so calm and refreshing! This is the cute cosy content I need for these cold months

I would love to see more day in the life videos from you! 💕 I hope you have a restful and wonderful time off. ✨️❤️📚

what a cozy little space you've carved out for yourself. the last shot of you in your office was so pleasant.

I love how humble and sweet you are Ariel! Love your home setting! I would love to know more about your house and that river!!

Loved this! Thank you!

You fill me with joy every time i come here to watch one of your videos. I love how natural you are. Everything you do suits you so well. Thank you very much for sharing a day from your life with us. And please, keep sharing. I am a BIG fan!!

I have a house thats 123 years old and I love the little things I'm learning. Our house was totally remodeled but we're going to give her a makeover to bring back her character.

Yay glad to have been able to support the pretty desktop, love how it matches the room 😍

As I sit at my desk to watch this video, not a single inch of usable surface in front of me due to the projects I'm in the middle of and the little human pocket items I've yet to put away, I am GRATEFUL that you left the spaces you use every day cluttered for this video. Thanks for showin' us a little bit of human.

I loved this so much, more of these casual vlogs please!!!

This was so cosy and calming to watch.

This was so peaceful, thanks for bringing us along 😊❤

Love this video! Your office shot at the end of the video, it just looks like perfection 😊👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Sitting by the river is so relaxing

This is so inspiring! I want this life so bad. I’m in a deep season of depression but THIS really brings me hope.

I don't know about everyone else.. but I must say that the moments by your river is EVERYTHING. The sight and sound was soul filling, so thank you for that Ariel. Happy Christmas time. See ya on the flip side.

This is so cozy! I would totally watch more!

Enjoy your time off and happy holidays!

It is stunning!!! You have done a lovely job!!!

Love this video!! it was so relaxing to watch

This was such a nice video Ariel! I found it so chilled and calming! The moment it started...I notice that it was going to be different...because your renovation videos always follow a specific style. And I enjoyed it so much! The best part of this video was you sitting by the river and you getting angry about the beauty filter! I LOVE that! Keep it real, friend. :)

OK. We definitely need to see your library catalogue system. I'm sure it's full of customised and quirky details and I'm here for it. Also, I myself am kind of attempting to do the same and I could use some inspiration. Another lovely video, dearest Ariel.

what a nice video to see from you!! love the overlapse between this and the patreon voicemails :) its like a visual entry for it! oh and could you maybe show how/ what you use for book cataloguing :) ?

So inspired by you! Your filming and storytelling is always amazing. Watching your channel over the months has encouraged me to create a channel as well. Thank you! :)

Ok but I adore these kind of videos! Love it!! It’s beautiful! Thank you for sharing with us :)

I love this relaxing-everyday in the nature vibe, I could watch it everyday! Of course I'm also looking forward a lot to the other house renovations😂, they're both my favorite concepts.

I love all your videos 😊 thankful for them! Have a lovely holiday season :)

I loved this style of video! Would love to see more of these ❤

A library catalog! Yes please🙂❤

This was so beautiful and peaceful ❤️

That beautiful river running right through your property is so special. 😊🇨🇦

I am so jealous that you have a stream, I love the sound of moving water! Great video. I've been watching you for years and following the house saga and me myself just finished my apartment and moved three days ago and that feels so good. Thank you for the videos and the podcast!
